OUR LITTLE SALSA DANCER!
Not many changes today beside her being more awake. When we got there in the morning, I don't know why but I was expecting things to look better ( a bit unrealistic). Her belly is still swollen quite a bit & her left lung is partially collapsed due to all the fluids which means she is still on the ventilator probably for another couple of days. She still has the 3 chest tubes and the dialysis catheter to drain her.Every time we called her name today she would start to move her legs and hip as much as she could so the nurses are calling her "Olivia the salsa dancer"... It fits her perfectly. Beside that she has been holding our hands all day and really squeezed them every time we tried to let it go. I know she is really sedated but I swear she knew we were there. It was just another hard day since we can't do much to help her & she squeezing our hands/fingers it made it harder... It was like she was calling for help and her mommy & daddy couldn't do ANYTHING. We don't know how much we can take seeing her like that,I hope GOD will heal her little body soon. We can't even look at her without falling over her and bursting in tears :((( .On the positive side we're hoping for a better day tomorrow. They just started feeding her so hopefully that would help...

i feel you, i love you, i am with you.... this will be one of the hardest things you will ever do in your life. to be helpless for your child has got to be the hardest thing. ever! i am sending you strength and love and hope. all i know is that God hears your cries, he sees your tears. he is crying them as well. months after we left the hospital i had a dream about God. He was crying too cause He knew that this was not the way He had wanted things to go for His creation. pain, hurt, even death. i got a real feeling in my dream just how much He truly hates those things. this fact encouraged me to know that in His deepest of hearts His true desire is for healing for all of us. That is my hope. healing. we pray this for olivia and for your family. that you will SOON see healing. i love you my sister, my friend. my heart hurts for you both so much as you have to walk through this valley. know without a doubt that He walks through it with you and He wants to hear your heartache. He sees your tears and He cries with you.

Good morning....glad to see your update and praying for a good day for Olivia today and you and Peter.
ReplyDeleteLord you have said that when more than two people come together in your name, you'll listen to their prayers. I pray that you'll heal Livi's body, give your peace to both Dajana and Peter,so that your name will be glorified!
ReplyDeleteHold on to God's grace lil' Livi. You'll laugh at this tiny obstacle afterwards and tell us how wonderful Grace is :)
Praying for you!
I'm so glad you posted an update. I was wondering through the night how things were going. God will give you guys strength to get through this, and even when you think that you don't have any left- He will hold you up. We are praying for all. I hope Liv feels better and gets off the ventilator soon. :)
